Well, I am sure that it is intended as a distraction. To some extent it has already served that purpose.

However, I hope that Mr. Obama will use it for a short lesson or two.

The media makes something like this a distraction when they keep harping on it ad nauseum.

..... It can be actually a good thing at some point if you have a HONEST national debate, not this 'walk on eggshells, i dont want to hurt anyones feelings BS' we have now...

As more and more FACTS (not rhetoric, but facts!) came out (reports, 911 calls, transcripts, witness, etc) the WORSE the professor sounded/looked and the BETTER the policeman sounded.. Obama just jumping into the fire and saying a dumb statement made things worse..

Obama will be happy when this month is over for sure, it has been a BRUTAL month for him and his adminstration!


Lets have a real debate soon, not this "gotchya" nonsense we have in 2009.. sad but true...

The whole Obama presidency is a distraction. We were suppose to have "change", yet we're still bailing out big corporations, we're still keeping the defense cartel rich. Soon we'll ALL be forced to buy our own healthcare insurance (say good-bye to our employers footing the bill). Obama refuses to hold the Bush administration accountable; -he's no better than those criminals.

Let's stop thinking as we did in the 1960's and move forward.. I'm so sick of hearing about the "racist" issue.. Come on America.. step up and unite... We are all the same.. and when everyone learns that this world will be a better place to live in..

"Beer summit", Anna Nicole same thing only different. We have two official wars going on, plus we're sending drones into Pakistan killing innocent people. Unemployment is on the rise and our dollar is becoming worthless. We fight whether our media is liberal or conservative, -it's neither. Our media is driven buy corporate leaders who are profiting from America's downfall.

The genie is out of the bottle. Obama revealed his own black anger towards white people. Many whites who voted for him now regret it.

Neither of those choices. It's more like presidential groveling after having put big foot in big mouth.

*** Bombshell: Bin Laden worked for USA - "All the way until that day of September 11"

Former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds dropped a bombshell on the Mike Malloy radio show, guest-hosted by Brad Friedman (audio, partial transcript)

http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7253

In the interview, Sibel says that the US maintained 'intimate relations' with Bin Laden, and the Taliban, "all the way until that day of September 11."

These 'intimate relations' included using Bin Laden for 'operations' in Central Asia, including Xinjiang, China. These 'operations' involved using al Qaeda and the Taliban in the same manner "as we did during the Afghan and Soviet conflict," that is, fighting 'enemies' via proxies.

.................

It is important to understand why: the US outsourced terror operations to al Qaeda and the Taliban for many years, promoting the Islamization of Central Asia in an attempt to personally profit off military sales as well as oil and gas concessions.

All this is a big political joke for a publicity stunt to raise his ratings that is sinking.
